Clarence Winter produced some of the most striking hand-tinted images of Oregon, often working with master colorist Frederick P. Luetters. After partnering for a while with Fred Kiser, Winter purchased most of Kiser's company and many of his images in 1915. Thus the original black and white photo may have been taken by Kiser, though the finished print is signed Winter Photo Co. Luetters, who had also worked with Kiser, was so important to Winter's company that when he went into the army in 1918, Winter closed the business.
